5/4/2023 Sri Lanka  (VOM)

Pastor Priyantha and his wife, Dinesha, planted a church in Sri Lanka in 2016. They faced severe opposition from Buddhist monks, villagers, government officers and the police. In 2021, local government authorities confiscated their property, including a coconut plantation which they had cultivated as a source of income to support their church ministry. The confiscated land was then given to the Buddhist leaders to build a temple.

Please pray…

  • Pray that Pastor Priyantha and Dinesha will not be disappointed and will continue to trust in the Lord.
  • Pray that the Lord will provide for all the needs of Pastor Priyantha’s family.
  • Pray that the Lord lead them to any new things He might want them to do.
  • Pray that the Lord lead the church to a new place where it can continue to be a light in the community and a good witness for Christ.
